Jura, France · Red Wine · Light Bodied

Pupillin is Ploussard country, and Jean-Michel and Laurence Petit make two versions of it. This is the old-vine bottling, off a plot planted in 1983, and it carries more concentration than their standard cuvée without ever turning heavy. Ploussard pours so pale it could be mistaken for a dark rosé, then delivers a good deal more than the colour suggests. Redcurrant and dried rose, a dusty earthiness underneath, and tannins you register as texture rather than grip. Farming has been organic since 2010 on the Triassic red marne the village sits on, and sulphur is often left out of this one entirely. Serve it cool.

Pairing Suggestions

Ploussard so pale you will check the label a second time.
Low in tannin and high in perfume: moo ping, or northern Thai sai ua.
Or coppa sliced thin, with pickled walnuts alongside.

About Domaine de la Renardière

The village of Pupillin plays host to Domaine de la Renardière, where Jean-Michel Petit quietly crafts some of Jura’s finest wines. Since establishing the domaine in 1990, Jean-Michel has built his 7.5 hectares into a haven for both red and white varietals, with a lineup of equal parts red (Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Trousseau) and white (mostly Chardonnay with a bit of Savagnin). Jean-Michel has been farming organically since 2003, earning full certification in 2012 - an important commitment to the vineyard. In the cellar, he keeps things rooted in tradition: native yeasts kickstart fermentation and sulfur is only used sparingly when needed, and élevage takes place in a mix of foudres for reds and a blend of older barriques and foudres for whites. The result? Wines that are vibrant, soulful, and unmistakably Jura.
